You pronounce it "zeck", I believe. Just like how it looks, really.

 

I would agree with Kudzu. It doesn't make much sense to me for it to be anything else, not with the double 'K'.

I'd pronounce it "zeck".

 

I pronounce it "SOO-zen," but I may be in a minority there.

 

Not a big fan of the poor guy, are you then?

 

Tiny, tiny, almost non-existent minortiy...

I pronounce it 'Zek'.

 

two of my friends pronounced it "Zee-k". I went insane with that... I agree with just about everyone in pronouncing it "Zeh-ck"

 

"Kyp Durron."

 

Yeah, I pronounce Zekk, "ZEE-`k".

YodaKenobi, why would you pronounce Zekk, "Narcissus"?

 

Zekk=Lily-livered-Han Solo-wannabe.

 

You're too much.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure it's pronounced zeh-k.

 

I'm ashamed of you, Dev!

Zeck for me, but with more accent on the ck sound.

 

I admit to being a Zee-k (as in EEEEK!) pronouncer

I can't help it, to me Zeh-ck sounds too much like Yeck!

 

Zee-k? That sounds like farmer boy.

I didn't even know it was in question. Zekk = Zeh'k

Of course as the owner of a four-lettered last name, I know it's entirely possible for people to slaughter something as simple as that.

 

I've always said it as "Zeck" because I figured you needed more than one vowel in the word to produce the long vowel sound.

Don't even get me started on last names. Now that I'm married, people won't even TRY to pronounce my new last name.

So its said Zech? I always thought it was Z-EEK, but then I learned that that was spelled Zeke, so I didn't know how to say it.

 

I'm with FelsGoddess, that's the way I always said it, but then I read a book that had a character called 'Zeke' and I was like "Waaaaiiiiittttt....."

Thanks 4 everyone's help! I will now change this into a Centre where everyone can ask about mis-pronounced words. Enjoy!

 

I saw the name in the book, but didn't make the connection until my friend was looking at baby names. She read off some from a list and said Zeke. Later that day, I was reading, um, well I really don't remember which book, but he was in it. I saw the name and the lightbulb turned on.

 

Yeah, I say it Zeh-ck. But I am the absolute last person in the face of the planet you want to ask about pronouncing things, trust me!

 

I pronounce it (in my mind) as EEK (as in a mouse!) with a Z in the front!

 

I've always pronounced it the way it looks...Zekk (Ze-ck)...it never even occured to me to be Zeek or something different...hmm...

 

Hey, how about the pronounciation of Jacen? I've always said it like Jason, but one of my friends says it "Jah-ken." How would you tackle it?

 

That one has to be pronounced like "Jason". There were Hebrew variants spelled "Jacen"...unless you're assuming entire new general rules of pronounciation, I don't think it would be "Jah-ken".

 

I'm with all who say it's pronouced: 'Zeck'. That's what I've always done. It's never been any diffrent.

 

"Zekk" sounds a bit like the German name of a parasite, the "Zecke". Actually, German pronounciation of the letter "z" is different from Englisch. The Englisch "z" sounds for German ears rather like a German "s", only softer. The German "z" instead sounds like a "ts" sound. So a German only reading the translations and not knowing anything about the English language would pronounce it "Tsekk".
